    I liked Firefly because he was Cobra's Snake-eyes in many ways. He and Storm Shadow were the two "Cobras" (not really in Cobra) that all wanted.

    Firefly was my Ninja Trooper!
    Most of my Joe's were used so I never had file cards on most of them. So I would make up my own back stories.
    Basically he was a trooper that had been trained by Storm Shadow.

    You should have covered his appearance in the 2nd JOE movie...it was kinda nice getting to see him on screen. I used to love FireFly as a kid , he was my Favorite COBRA villain if not my fav from the entire series and all of G I JOE

    @mistermusik 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    If Firefly is not a ninja like Storm Shadow because Larry Hama said so, then what is he, just a merc with spec-ops and ninja training? His design is a bit confusing. I'm only familiar with his 80s cartoon presentation. I always saw him as a demolitions expert. With a name like Firefly I simply expected him to blow things up and set things on fire. I don't remember him ever showing off any martial arts skills in the show. Good videos! Thanks.

    In, what I thought was a very funny moment, the issue where Firefly, Destro and Fred attack Snake-Eyes cabin Airborne and Spirit Iron-Knife, who are trying, unsuccessfully, to keep a stealthy eye on Snake-Eyes, charge up the mountain to help. Both a Native American. When charging Airborne tells to Snake-Eyes not to worry because "the calvary is coming." Spirit Iron-Knife didn't like that. Airborne then said "What am I supposed to say, the Indians are coming."

    I have to correct you: Larry Hama did not answer letters back in issue 27. The editor, Denny O'Neil replied that Firefly was not a ninja. Since Larry wrote GI JOE page by page, I doubt that he knew that he was a going to make Firefly a ninja at that point....

    Actually, Firefly just showed up in the mini Hama did that focused on Helix. He was hired by the group Helix is after to stop her. He does, but in the end a team of G.I. Joes shows up (looking for Helix) and he ends up caught. He betrays his employer by rating her out so she shoots him. In turn, Firefly detonates an explosive device on her which blows her jaw almost off! The mini ended with Firefly in Joe custody.

      There actually was no love triangle. The cartoon and the comic had their own continuities. Larry Hama never watched or referenced the cartoon.

Sunbow/Hasbro decided to make Duke and Scarlett an item in the cartoon and Snake Eyes was never part of that...
